The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1290

On the other hand, Bettany was slightly stunned by the Mango's sudden intrusion. Although she was a little displeased, she still greeted Mango politely.

In the past, Bettany would never address her as 'Madam', and this continued even if she became Wisdom's teacher. Thus, Mango knew that she acted more respectfully now because Nathaniel was the chief of Longford County.

However, Mango wasn't in the mood to care about these. She walked straight to Bettany and asked directly, "Who is the man who is watching over Wisdom?"

Upon hearing this, Bettany was startled, and a mysterious gaze crossed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Wisdom happened to arrive when he heard this.

Although Doris did not say anything, she was still a little curious.

According to Mango's words, it seemed that Bettany had been coerced by someone. If that was the case, was the promise of taking her to meet Barack still valid?

On the other hand, Mango could care less about what others thought. Right now, she was extremely anxious.

However, Bettany lowered her head and whispered, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know what I mean, Bettany. I know you're smart, but you shouldn't treat me like a fool either. You think that you can handle this yourself by protecting both Longford County and Wisdom, right? Let me tell you this, no one in the world can get the best of both worlds, and not even you! If you're really concerned about Wisdom, can you tell me who's watching over him?"

Wisdom seemed to have understood something when he heard what Mango had said.

Then, he walked into the room and looked at Bettany before whispering, "Ms. Zhang, have you been threatened because of me? Who is that person? What does he want you to do?"

Previously, Bettany didn't want to reveal anything. However, she wavered slightly when she saw Wisdom.

"Why are you here? The adults are speaking now, so you shouldn't listen in! Go out and play, or check up on how Maverick is doing."

Well, Bettany was obviously driving Wisdom away, but Wisdom shook his head and said, "Somone drugged my uncle. Daddy and mommy will be counter-attacking quietly, and soon, they will find the culprit. Madam, you have to believe that they can protect me, so just say it while I'm here."

Wisdom looked straight into Bettany's eyes as he said this, but Bettany remained silent.

On the other hand, Mango was extremely anxious. Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer and said worriedly, "The other party wasn't targeting Wisdom, right? They were closely monitoring him, and they even used him to threaten you. Do they want you to do something from them?"

"No, they just asked me to calm down. They said they would look for me when they needed me. Although you said that you would take care of Wisdom, you've failed now because you allowed someone else to spy on him!"

Bettany finally spoke up, but there was a hint of reproach and dissatisfaction in her voice. After all, Bettany couldn't say anything harsh because of Nathaniel's status, but she did it for Wisdom's sake.

Right now, she would not allow anyone to harm Wisdom.

Mango was stunned for a moment when she heard what Bettany had said, but she immediately understood the meaning behind her words.

"Bettany, they were not targeting Wisdom from the very beginning. They want nothing from Wisdom. Even if they wanted to kidnap him, he would be fine because Nathaniel and I are protecting him. Furthermore, they would have taken action immediately if Wisdom was the person they were looking for. However, they waited until now, so they're obviously using you!"

After that, Mango quickly took out her phone. She was already trembling in fear.

However, Bettany didn't quite understand what Mango meant. She wanted to ask, but Mango hurriedly said to Nathaniel on the phone, "Their target is Morgan!"

"I know that, and I tried to inform Morgan. Unfortunately, we're still a step too late because he isn't answering his phone. As you know, the signal over there is blocked, so I'll go over there first. Can you handle this yourself?"

At this moment, Nathaniel sounded worried

"I can. Go ahead. Take care of yourself."

Mango's thoughts were in a mess, but she knew that she had to remain calm because Rita was still with Morgan.

When she thought about what could happen to her precious daughter, Mango was anxious.

Meanwhile, Bettany seemed to have sensed something.

"Madam, you're..." "Don't you get it, Bettany? Those people were using Wisdom as bait because they were afraid that you would help us. Hence, they weren't monitoring Wisdom. Instead, they took advantage of Wisdom's relationship with us to find out the whereabouts of Morgan. You are from Longford County, so if you help us, their plan will never succeed. But if you don't do anything, they can ask others for help since we were not familiar with this area. In this way, they can enter our territory and follow our footprints to find Morgan. Hah! They've used you!"

Mango didn't want to blame Bettany. After all, the latter was doing this for Wisdom's sake because of her unconditional love for Wisdom. However, Mango felt extremely anxious and uneasy right now.

What if something happened to Morgan? What about Rita then?

Meanwhile, Bettany was completely stunned.

She looked at Mango and then at Wisdom again, but she was too stunned to react.

Meanwhile, Doris sighed as she walked in and said, "I'm afraid that the other party has gotten what they wanted. If their target is Morgan, I'm afraid that you guys have left Morgan's place for quite some time..." "Auntie!"

This was also what Mango was most worried about.

However, she didn't know what to say after calling Doris.

Meanwhile, Wisdom had been listening to the conversation from the start, and now he seemed to have understood something.

"Mommy, will Rita be alright?"

Upon seeing Wisdom's worried expression, Mango patted his head and said, "Your daddy is already there, so he should be able to make it in time."

"It's too late."
